The city of Louisville, Kentucky, is max
ing some enormous strides Within seven
years it has added $4,000 to its population
Its advance in business has, however, been
still more remarkable. During the seven
months of this year the increase of clear
ings over the corresponding period Of 1886
was $50, 000. 900, and If this rate of increase
is maintained throughout the ear the aggre-
gate Increase for 1887 will be over $4,000.
The Louisville figures show that during the
year its business will have increased more
than the whole business of Wichita amounts
to for the year. The increase aggregates
considerably more than half the entire clear
ings OF the city of indianapolis for the year
and quite half of the aggregate clearings of
Detroit for 1886. These are the striking and
surprising illustrations of the enormous
strides which Louisville has been making in
the way Of development since 1882. In these
five years the increase of business has been
so rapid and so great that it is best shown by
contrasting comparisons which the clearings
will afford. In 1882 they were $193,0O0, 900 !;
in 1887 they will amount to about $3.50, 600, 900
In other words there has been added to the
wealth which circulates in and developes the
city about $100,000,00O per year within five
years. During the current eighteen months
Louisville will have added some four hun
bred miles of railroad to her system, COM
prising three distinct lines radiating from
the city and traversing distinct territories.
These lines will place population of two
or three million directly tributary to its
trade; in consequence next year a much
larger increase is expected than that of 1887.

Another Warning.

The New York Sun reports that the Presi-
dent has been greatly annoyed by the COM
ments Of partisan newspapers on the "per-
nicious activity" of certain federal officials
In the Maryland and Pennsylvania conven-
tions, and in consequence has addressed a
letter to the Secretary of the Treasury di-
recting him to say to these officials that they
must take no part in the coming elections.
This is very interesting A year ago the
President issued formal order instructing
the federal officials to refrain from manag-
Ing conventions and campaigns and intimat-
ing very plainly that disobedience would be
gound for their prompt dismissal. For a
while the oficeholders, thinking that the
President might mean what he said. like
Brer Rabbit lay low. 1t was not long, how
ever, before the information got to them in
some way that there was great deal
more bark than bite in the order.
For six months, certainly, it has been dead
letter Hardly Democratic convention has
been held in which federal officials have not
taken an active part, and though the "parti-
san press" has frequently called the Presi-
ueats attention to the fact, 1t has never.
until the present time, succeeded in suffi-
ciently annoying him to induce him to
take any notice Of it. Indeed, this present
success is not remarkable. Even now he has
not been annoyed sufficiently to fin apv Of
these perniciously active officials out Of Of
ice. Neither Higgins, nor Rasin. nor anv
other member of the German crowd is 10 he
turned out; they are to be warned simnlv
that they must not take part in the election.
But having violated the Presidents first or
der for whole year with impunity it is not
likely they will be very much scared by this
second one, so that the result Of this warn,
ing viii be practically nothing, except to
refresh the publlc's recollection of the first
order and the insincerity of the man who
issued it. When the Maryland election
comes round Mr.. Eugene Higgins will take
vacation and go over TO Baltimore. and
Messrs. Rasin and Thomas will perform
much more work outside their offices than
INSIDE and none of them will be turned out
IN consequence. The Presidents order has
renamed too long in innoouous desuetude to
Dc taken up and enforced now. no matter
what his disposition in regard to II NAV be.

1t is reported that the County Attorney Of
Androscoggin refuses to prosecute unlicensed
druggists because there are certain holes in
the law through which they can escape. In
other words. the Attorney considers the law
fatally defective. That is unfortunate, for
the purpose of the law. which was to place
the compromising of prescriptions in compe-
tent hands, was a praiseworthy one. The
defects ought to be cured by the next legisla-
ture, and probably will be. But the public
will not enjoy the protection they are enti-
tied to until the writing of prescriptions as
we'll as the compromising of them. is placed
in competent hands-in other words, until
uneducated physicians, as well as uneducat-
ed druggists, are suppressed.

The affair at Mitchellstown was more se-
rious than the first reports indicated, and if
Mr.. t. P. Gill correctly narrates the facts
the police were entirely to blame His ac-
count, however, is certain to be disputed by
the government who will endeavor to make
1t appear that the Nationalist were the ag-
gressors. Indeed there is little doubt but
the affair will be pointed to by the Tories as
a justification Of coercion. They will claim
that it shows lawless state of public senti-
ment which can be met and subdued only by
harsh measures. They will allege that the
crowd attempted to intimidate the govern
ment stenographer who was there to take
down the language of the speakers, and that
that gave rise to the riot, and the subse-
quent shooting. If the coercion act is vigor-
ously enforced doubtless this affair will
prove but the beginning of long series of
such outbreaks. When the English voters
were practically unanimous in favor of the
force policy it never succeeded. With them
divided success is out of the question.

How much truth there is in the story that
diver, at the instigation of the New York
World, has succeeded in examining the bot
tom of the Thistle and obtaining plan of it,
we do not know. But if it be true the World
ought to be ashamed of itself. The Thistle
has come over here to contest with American
yachts for the championship. Her officers
are gentlemen. There has never been the
slightest reason for supposing that they in
tended to resort to any unfair means to ac-
complish that end. Yet insinuations of that
kind have been made against them almost
from the day of their arrival, spies have been
set upon them, and in every way they have
been treated by certain newspapers as if they
were gang of sharpers.

TO THE FARMERS OF NORTH
~. CAROLINA.

Without cooperation we can have no
organization, without organization we can
have no system, without system we can
do nothing. This is the bedrock idea
upon which rests our farmers clubs and
other organizations. 1t was this that
brought into being our splendid conven-
was organized our North Carolina Farm
ers' Association. 1t was the design and
purpose of that convention to make this
Association a permanent institution. Not
permanent, but that it should grow and
strengthen and develop until it should en-
brace in its membership all. the farmers Of
our State. Never before in all the history
of this country, have the farmers felt SO
strongly the imperative: necessity for or
ganization. In the Northern and North
western States their organization is NOV
ing steadily onward; throughout the
South the movement is not only hopeful
and significant, but wonderful, and prom
Uses at no distant day to enlist the sym
pathy and active cooperation and sup
port of all the intelligent and progressive
farmers Of the South.
Recently a convention of representative
farmers of Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas
was held at Waco, Texas, to institute and
prosecute such measures as would aid and
advance the movement.
On the 10th Of August a convention Of
the farmers of, the ten cotton States is
called to meet in Atlanta, Ca, to consider
the causes Of the depression existing in
the great industry of agriculture in the
South, and if possible to find and apply the
remedy. At this convention, steps will
be taken, most probably, for the call and
organization of a National Farmers Asso-
citation. On the second Wednesday in
January next, u State Association will
meet in the city of Greensboro, N. G.
The gratifying and rapid progress made
in our State, in organizing farmers clubs
and the organization Of oranges, inspires
the belief that the farmers of the Old
North State are being aroused as never
before, and that they will be fully pre-
pared to fall into line with their brother
farmers and with their best endeavor and
truest loyalty, strive to advance this the
greatest of all our great industries.
We, the Executive Committee of the
North Carolina Farmers Association, ap-
peal to the farmers of our State to organ
ize. Establish n~eighborhood or township
clubs; from these, organize county clubs,
and thus be in a position to be properly
represented in our State Association, and
other representative bodies of our farmers.
We respectfully but earnestly suggest
that meetings Of farmers be called and
held in every neighborhood as oon as
the busy season in our crops shall have
passed. Prepare for it now. Begin to
agitate it. Write to the PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, Raleigh, N. c., the official organ
of our State Association, for the form OF
Constitution and Bylaws, which will be
mailed to applicants free of charge.
1t is necessary that the Secretary Of
our State Association should have and
keep a complete directory of the farmersl
clubs throughout the State. \
We therefore ask that every club an the
State (whether it be county OR township
club) send at once to oar Secretary, MIR. b.

Last Sunday q favorite local minister

Last Sunday n f~avorite local minister
was delivering an impassioned account Of
the destruction of Gomorrah. He thun-
dered away until he disturbed the tired
boomers in the front pews. "What," he
shouted, "what can be worse than that
city's lot" eff it's a city lot" replied a
just-awakened man, "Ill give you $75 a
foot" Eighty!" shouted another specula-
tor in the gallery, aroused by the familiar
sounds. "Ninety!' roared another, jump
ing up. "One hundred!" And the whole
congregation Clipped in and would have
doomed Gomorrah clear out of sight had
not the sexton with great presence Of
mind called the worshippers to their sense
by passing round the plate. That busted
the corner.-Iruh Seeker.
